CRAZY RICH ASIANS
Tinsel & Tine’s look at Jon M. Chu’s CRAZY RICH ASIANS By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Remember the first time you saw Pretty Woman and Vivienne (Julia Roberts) strolls back into the posh shop which had snubbed her on Rodeo drive, loaded with shopping bags, asking the sales person if she works on commission – “Big Mistake, Huge!” Well, there’s a similarly satisfying scene of judgement and retribution which opens the movie Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu, based on a bestselling 2013 novel by Kevin Kwan. Constance Wu plays Rachel Chou, a NYU Econ professor. For the last year she’s been dating Nick Young, a guy she assumes…
